The sister of my two leghorns started laying a week ago. I'm anxiously awaiting the first white egg. Good luck and I hope yours start laying soon.

Thank you. I only have two white leghorns both are about 20 weeks old. The red stars are 15 months old. And the leghorns are playful sweethearts especially compared to the red stars. The red stars are great layers. Great big extra large brown eggs and daily layers. I just can't take the...

Here's another image.

Here's what one of my white leghorns looks like after 18 hours with only one red star. Her comb is torn and this is after I cleaned it up. It just breaks my heart for my baby to get hurt.

Here's an image of my red sex links egg compared to extra large, hers are jumbo. She is a year old.

I have2 red stars/sexlinks hens. One Annie lays xl brown eggs regularly. The other one, Lucy is the meanest chicken that I've ever seen, but the best brown egg layer. Twice this weeks she's laid extra jumbo sized eggs. I've only used one of the eggs thus far it was a double yolk. But, is it...

mine are curious too. They still sound like little chicks chirping though. Thanks for the info!

Thank you!

Thanks! Are yours chirping or clucking?
